-3. **Context Mode** — Context Mode is enabled by default and gives every auto-mode unit guidance for preserving context. Agents are steered toward `gsd_exec` for noisy scans, builds, tests, and diagnostics; full stdout/stderr is saved under `.gsd/exec/` while only a short digest enters the conversation. `gsd_exec_search` lets agents reuse prior runs instead of repeating expensive checks, and `gsd_resume` reads `.gsd/last-snapshot.md` after compaction or resume.

+3. **Context Mode** — Context Mode is enabled by default and gives eligible auto-mode units guidance for preserving context. Agents are steered toward `gsd_exec` for noisy scans, builds, tests, and diagnostics; capped stdout/stderr and metadata are saved under `.gsd/exec/` while only a short digest enters the conversation. `gsd_exec_search` lets agents reuse prior runs instead of repeating expensive checks, and `gsd_resume` reads a prior compaction snapshot from `.gsd/last-snapshot.md` when one exists. Opt out with `context_mode.enabled: false` to disable Context Mode guidance, snapshot injection, `gsd_exec`, `gsd_exec_search`, and `gsd_resume`; tune sandbox timeout/output caps and environment forwarding with `context_mode.exec_timeout_ms`, `context_mode.exec_stdout_cap_bytes`, `context_mode.exec_digest_chars`, and `context_mode.exec_env_allowlist`.
 
 4. **Git isolation** — When `git.isolation` is set to `worktree` or `branch`, each milestone runs on its own `milestone/<MID>` branch (in a worktree or in-place). All slice work commits sequentially — no branch switching, no merge conflicts. When the milestone completes, it's squash-merged to main as one clean commit. The default is `none` (work on the current branch), configurable via preferences. If `worktree` is configured in a repo with no committed `HEAD`, GSD temporarily behaves as `none` until the first commit exists because git worktrees need a committed start point.
